Combine flour and cocoa; set aside.
With electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and baking powder until blended. Add egg, vanilla, and cherry flavoring; beat until well combined. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls, place 1/2 -inch apart on ungreased baking sheet. Press down center of each ball with thumb to create a small hollow, fill each center with a cherry. Heat oven to 350°F.
In a small pan over low heat, combine chocolate chips and condensed milk, heat until chocolate is melted. Spoon about 1 teaspoon chocolate mixture over each cherry, spreading to cover cherry.
